Greetings from the Salton Sea – California’s largest lake. In its heyday, this body of water was called the Southern California Riviera, attracting people from across the country.Decades later, this desert oasis is now dying. “It smells like death you know,” said one local man. “You can tell something died.”The Salton Sea is stinking and shrinking and what’s left is a being called a major health hazard.“The Salton Sea has gone to hell if you ask me,” another man said. “We used to go fishing there before and you can’t go fishing there anymore because there’s nothing to fish for because it’s polluted.”The sea is polluted with sewage, heavy metals and agricultural run off.With no natural run off and not much rain coming in, the Salton Sea has been decaying for decades. Experts say now the conditions are getting worse and the problems go well past county lines. “All of that dust on windy days gets aerosolized and people can inhale it for hundreds of miles actually,” said Sam J. Weiss, MD of Eisenhower Health in Palm Desert, Ca. Weiss says Imperial County’s air quality is some of the worst in the state.And as the Salton Sea dries up, more dangerous dust goes into the air and ultimately gets into people’s lungs. “If it becomes drier and drier and saltier and saltier we’ll see more and more problems unless there’s remediation of the sea,” Weiss said. In an attempt to slow down this problem, the Imperial Irrigation District dug trenches to suppress the dust.“IID models all of our project areas to control the most dust as possible,” said Jessica Humes of the Imperial Irrigation District. Humes says the Salton Sea is twice as salty as the Pacific Ocean and that ratio is impacting wildlife. “It is reducing reproduction of fish, fish are eaten by birds, and if there’s no fish, that causes a huge issue for them,” she said.Humes went on to say that the Salton Sea has more than 20,000 acres of dusty ground exposed -- a number she expects to increase overtime. “This boat dock had water in it over 10 years ago,” she said. “Today completely dry and the Salton Sea is hundreds of yards away.”Conditions are so bad that local leaders recently made an emergency declaration over air quality. “I’m worried about the impacts that are unknown and the sea receding so fast that you can’t plan for it,” SAID Ryan Kelley, chairman of the Imperial County Board of SupervisorsKelley says this is the latest bid to save the Salton Sea. And if the state recognizes this request – it puts rehabilitation efforts on a fast track to happen now.“If they were to listen to what our concerns are and to take up our emergency they could get back to neutral on what they promised to do under the management program,” he said. California Governor Gavin Newsom's office sent us a statement saying, ” The Salton Sea is an urgent issue, and we are intensely focused on solutions. The state is reviewing the Imperial County Board of Supervisors’ action, but we are not waiting to act on projects that can help. Several efforts are already underway to address Salton Sea-related air quality issues, including dust suppression and collaboration with local, state and federal agencies.”Meanwhile, those that live here recognize the problems are at their doorstep“The sea all winter long was full of pelicans,” said Mary Jane Mulrooney, who has been living near the Salton Sea for more than 30 years. “Now you don’t see any pelicans.” Mulrooney says she’s tired of watching this lake waste away.“It’s sad that nobody cares enough to save it,” she said. Now she and others hope this latest effort reignites a sense of urgency and ultimately action. 3648

FLINT, Mich. – In a gesture of solidarity, a Michigan sheriff joined a crowd demanding action against police brutality and marched side by side with the peaceful protesters. Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson was caught on video joining the crowd that was marching in Flint Township in honor of George Floyd, the black man who died after an officer knelt on his neck during an arrest in Minneapolis. Before the march began, Swanson addressed the demonstrates and said his officers wanted to be with them.“I took my helmet off, laid the batons down,” said Swanson to cheers. “I want to make this a parade, not a protest.”The sheriff wanted to make the point that his officers cared for their community and they understood many wanted to have their voices heard. “These cops love you. That cop over there hugs people,” he said. “So, you tell us what we need to do.”The protesters carried signs and chanted as they made their way by foot and in cars through the community’s business district. They then marched to police headquarters, where they demonstrated briefly. While there, police and protesters talked and bumped fists.The peaceful protest lasted several hours."We can't forget on all our police cars across the nation it says, 'protect and serve.' That means all people, that means all people deserve the same dignity,” 1340

For years, milk was marketed as a drink that does a body good. But after decades of declining sales, the American milk industry has turned somewhat sour.At Leevers Locavore grocery store, the coffee bar is seeing more customers choosing options other than traditional cow milk.“We go through about a case of alternative milks a day,” said a barista. “Maybe just a gallon of whole milk or non-fat.”Across this store, more shoppers are loading their carts with alternative dairy choices.Dairy manager Jacob Pomainville says cow milk sales aren’t what they used to be.“It’s definitely evident that regular dairy is declining in popularity,” he said.Instead, more shoppers are stocking up on plant-based dairy products.“This Oatly is selling really well,” Pomainville said. “There’s a high demand for.” National numbers mirror the store’s sales.According to Nielsen, almond milk is now America’s favorite milk substitute.Sales have jumped 250 percent over the past five years. During that same period, the total milk market shrank by more than billion. That economic impact can be felt across the country as two of America’s biggest milk processing plants, Borden Dairy and Dean Foods, recently filed for bankruptcy.“Mostly, the challenges right now we are experiencing – raw milk inflationary prices which puts a little bit of pressure on processors like Borden Dairy,” said Tony Sarsam, Borden Dairy CEO. “We’ve adopted the mantra, ‘glass half full,’” he said. “Consumers are saying they want variety. They’re looking for new ways to consume all products. They want convenience. They want healthy products and they want products that allow them to indulge.”Now, leaders of one of the country’s most well renowned dairy science programs are speaking out. “There, the distinction is those plants were making bottled milk, which is the product that tends to be going down,” said Dan Sumner PhD, an agricultural economist at the University of California Davis.Sumner says while America’s consumption of cow milk is decreasing, the dairy industry overall isn’t in trouble.“That’s right. Milk production is going up,” he said. “Dairying is a tough business but there’s people successful at it and I think the long-term future is really healthy.”A healthy future with more people now eating more cheese – and America exporting other dairy products like protein powder.“The U.S. dairy industry is getting better and better at competing in the world market,” Sumner said. “The industry is always looking for innovations to get more from less to be able to keep the price of milk affordable for people.” 2606
